I suppose now is as good a time as any to formally apologise for my behaviour under the influence of the unexplained events. We all know that it's an entirely blameless situation and that nothing can be done, so, any further mentions of the situation involving myself in particular may be reason enough for me to remove points. Let's not be counter productive about this, let's just move on from it.

This journal is also an opportunity to share some more positive news regarding Slytherin and Ravenclaw students taking my class. I have acquired a boggart and there will be a practical class in the next few weeks. As such, any concerns should be brought to me. However, if you skip without my consent I will make you regret it every day for the rest of your school life. Thank you.

Now, an assignment for all of you in my class, though the lengths will vary. I want you to consider the events of the previous days and then think about the risks and consequences of uncontrolled magic, even if it's not necessarily Dark Arts, it's still a situation one must understand and prepare for. I want you to take a long thought about why we have rules and regulations to adhere to and how they benefit us.
First to Third years I want to see at least three good paragraphs. Fourth to Fifth should write at least five. Sixth to Seventh I expect a convincing, well thought out essay with an argument for your opinion. The length is up to you.

I will finish with a friendly reminder that you may not use my situation as an example in your analysis unless you're particularly interested in failure.

[Private to Tulio]
15 points to Slytherin for impressive negotiation skills.

[[ooc: Homework goes HERE also Murdoc was a pirate for the wish event don't judge him. There will be a boggart log up in about two weeks!]]

NO.
you didn't mean anything ironic by it.
BUT IT IS IRONIC, NONETHELESS.
unless you'd call your previous behavior mature.

I haven't acted in an immature sense of my own volition. What happened previously was obviously part of a school wide curse.

OF COURSE.
i wonder why it manifested in such an
INTERESTING MANNER
in your case?

If what I've read over the journals is correct, the magic seemed to manifest according to the idle thoughts of others. So, obviously, somebody had pirates on their mind.
There is nothing suspicious about that. Nothing that's my fault, anyway.

OF COURSE NOT.
nothing at all.

This is the part where I inquire into your vague comment and you give me some sort of ridiculous observation on my behaviour.
Do you realise how downright creepy that makes you seem? Do you enjoy that?
